In addition to stating that Jesus brings him security and confidence, Trump said that Jesus is “Somebody I can revere in terms of bravery and in terms of courage and, because I consider the Christian religion so important, somebody I can totally rely on in my own mind."

Trump has often stressed that he is Christian, and specifically, Presbyterian. He also stressed this in the interview with Thomas.

“As you know, I am Presbyterian and Protestant. I've had great relationships and developed even greater relationships with ministers. We have tremendous support from the clergy. I think I will be doing very well during the election with evangelicals and with Christians.”
